Virag's Movie Reviews: The Interview (2014)

Surely this was a not a vital flick, or a great one or anything, but the thing was not as bad as I thought it would be.  And I didn't hate it completely.  Low bars?  Yes, but the doofs that made the movie managed to get over 'em.  Franco's getting more tedious as he goes on, and in this, where there was maybe 50 minutes of okay film and an hour of futility, he was the wrong person for the role.  It often looked like a better actor could have done something better than Franco managed.  Rogen's always a weak link--in fact, this whole thing unspooled like a Kevin Smith movie: unrealized potential cuz the dummies made the film and missed so much of the potential good stuff.
